Police said it\u0027s still unclear why a drilling machine was operating near a moving gondola
Police say the machine first struck an unoccupied gondola before it collided with the second car, inside which were the two Ontarians.
“For reasons as yet undetermined, the gondola in which they were riding was struck in motion by the mast of a drill rig that an employee was moving from the site, along a path prescribed by the owner of Mont-Tremblant,” Maxime Patry said in the statement.Article content The panoramic gondola takes passengers on a trip to the summit of Mont-Tremblant year-round. A video on the website of the resort operator says the gondola moves slower during the summer and fall to let people take in the view.
A spokeswoman for Quebec’s workplace health and safety board _ known as the CNESST — said the gondola will remain out of service while the agency investigates. Cindy L’Heureux said inspectors have been on site since Sunday; the board has ordered that neither the drill nor the gondola be moved from the scene of the collision until further notice.Article content
